There is too much information out there with so many different media sources available to everyone. How does this author know where he stayed in Boston? That seems possibly a little creepy. The internet got all excited last season when he said hi to Rondo. Obviously that little high five doesn't have a lot of meaning now that Rondo is not here. It could be that the guy actually like the city of Boston, which isn't a bad thing.
All that being said, I do think it is a little weird if this story is even true. If you were going to go play in a city in a playoff series, would you go chill there to relax by yourself before the series? Seems like it wouldn't be super pleasant with locals taunting you and hating your teammates.
